Breast Feeding, Counseling, Guidelines as Topic, Education, ReviewAbstract
Objective: to map the evidence available in the literature on protocols used in breastfeeding counseling. Method: scoping review with searches carried out in March 2023, updated in February 2024, independently on the databases: PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science; CINAHL, CAPES Catalog of Theses and Dissertations and Cochrane Library, correlating the descriptors Counseling, Breast Feeding, Education, Guideline and Protocol and synonyms, without delimiting time and language. Results: the final sample consisted of 11 studies, from 2003 to 2022, with a predominance of studies in English and of the randomized clinical trial type, most frequently applied in the postpartum period and among couples with favorable conditions for breastfeeding. Applied in individual or group sessions, lasting 20-60 minutes and using support material, with nurses being the most cited professionals. Conclusion: there is a scarcity of research detailing breastfeeding counseling protocols, with a predominance of protocols applied in the puerperium.
